While 79 percent of mothers have ever breastfed, only 39 percent are breastfeeding at six months. That drops to 20 percent at one year. Thirty-one percent of breastfed infants receive formula before two days old. Florida only has two Baby Friendly hospitals — where 2.19 percent of all births statewide occur.

The survey found some disturbing trends: 44 percent of women feel uncomfortable seeing a mom breastfeed in public; 17 percent of women don’t feel breastfeeding is one of the best things a mom can do for herself and her child; 25 percent of women who didn’t or won’t breastfeed said they tried but simply weren’t able to; 1 in 10 women don’t work in an environment that supports breastfeeding or pumping.

But a bright spot from the survey found that the majority of women surveyed did, currently do or plan to breastfeed.
